"They basically are just raping you in public," the reality star said. "I got asked the other day, 'Do you want to go for a screening or get patted down?' I don't want that X-Ray to see everything, honey."

Attorney Gloria Allred, who is known for defending victim's rights, told RadarOnline that Kardashian's comments could be hurtful to real rape victims.

"I believe that the word should not be used loosely to describe security measures at airports or at any other place," Allred told Radar. "I think that many victims of sexual assault who have been the true victims of men who committed that violent crime against them and who have been forced to suffer the physical and emotional harm that results from that crime would be insulted that the term would be used in the way that Ms. Kardashian used it."

A community education coordinator for the Santa Barbara Rape Crisis Center – Jazmin Robles — told the website that Kardashian's comments were troublesome.

"The people are so aggressive. It's like, 'Chill out, you didn't find anything on me yet, like, calm down,'" she said.

The reality star, and wife of Laker Lamar Odom, said one TSA screener caused her emotional grief.

"She's like, 'OK, I'm going to pat you down and I'm going to be touching — they say, 'The crease of your ass, everything,'" Kardashian recounted. "Like that is so inappropriate to me and they are so aggressive and forceful."

Kardashian isn't the first star to come under fire for making a rape comparison. "The Twilight Saga's" Kristen Stewart apologized back in June after she compared paparazzi photos of herself to rape in an interview with British ELLE.
